"Johnny" lyrics - SIERRA FERRELL

SIERRA FERRELL
"Johnny"

Johnny went walking down the tracks one day
It was hot, hazy lazy
He was chewing bubble gum they'd say
He's just tryna forget all the words they would say
Oh, when Johnny he wasn't around

He had a three-legged dog they'd say
He liked to follow him, down and around
He liked to watch him put his bare feet on that hot steel reel
For he liked that feeling and that sound...

Because they
Didn't have the right shoes to amount to his blues
No they, didn't have the right shoes to amount to his blues

Well Susie she drank a lot of ginger ale
Just waltzing over town wearing her fox tail
Sitting all alone at a coffee shop
Well ya see, shes just watching Johnny walk the rails

She couldn't help the way she felt inside
But when she saw Johnny, he fell down and died
There were no shoes inside
[?]

Because they didn't have the right shoes to amount to his blues
No they didn't have the right shoes to amount to his blues
No they didn't have the right shoes to amount to his blues
No they didn't have the right shoes to amount to his blues
Didn't have the right shoes to amount to his blues
